JAS. RICHARDS, PIONEER HERE, DIES; AGED 80
James Richards, pioneer resident of this city who removed to Milwaukee
about four years ago to take up his home, died in that city yesterday
at the advanced age of 80 years. Death was due to infirmaties of age
and was not unexpected, Mr. Richard having been in decline for some
time. Had he lived until May 6 he would have been 81 years old.
Messages received yesterday said that the body would be brought here
for burial and funeral services will be held from the St. Paul's M.E.
church Saturday afternoon at 2. Interment will be at Evergreen.
Mr. Richards came to Manitowoc county from his native home in Wales
when a young man and was one of the early pioneers here. He was well
known. He married Miss Emily Crocker of this city and five of eleven
children born to the couple survive Mr. Richards, being Joseph, of
Detroit, Charles, Leon, Mrs. Alice Dolphin and Miss Mabel Richards,
all of Milwaukee.
During his long residence here Mr. Richards was a regular attendant
at the Methodist church at which funeral services will be held and
was active in support of the church.
